Installation Guide

Pre-requisites

  • Access to the internet
  • An IntelRSD deployment, managed by a PODM
  • Min. one PSME communicating with yout PODM, with available compute systems

Installation of OpenStack

The following guide provides developer instructions on how to deploy OpenStack using the deployment tool DevStack:

https://docs.openstack.org/devstack/latest/guides/single-machine.html

Once you have set up your environment to deploy DevStack please refer to the below configuration instructions to enable the rsd-virt-for-nova driver contained in this repo.

DevStack Configuration

These configuration instructions provide directions for this minimal installation of the rsd-virt-for-nova driver with OpenStack. It also assumes that you already have setup and configured an RSD PODM that is communicating with available composable compute systems, via one or more PSMEs.

Note

For instructions on setting up a PODM and PSMEs please refer to the user guides and code repositories referred to in the following links:

https://github.com/intel/intelRSD

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/rack-scale-design/rack-scale-design-resources.html

A sample local.conf for DevStack is provided here, examples/sample_local.conf. Please copy this file into your devstack reposititory and rename it local.conf and adjust the configuration options provided where appropriate.

cp examples/sample_local.conf devstack/local.conf

local.conf settings

In the local.conf the following parameters can be changed:

  • HOST_IP:

    Set this option to be the ip address of where your OpenStack deployment will be running.

  • enable_plugin nova-rsd <PATH_TO_NOVA_RSD_REPO> <REPO_BRANCH_NAME>:

    Clone the rsd-virt-for-nova repository and point PATH_TO_NOVA_RSD_REPO to its location.

    Set the REPO_BRANCH_NAME to be the branch of the above repo to be the one with the code version that you require. If left unspecified will default to master.

  • PODM_USER:

    This parameter specifies the username to authenticate to the PODM with.

    Default: admin

  • PODM_PASSWD:

    This parameter specifies the password to authenticate to the PODM with, inconjuction with the username defined above.
